Alkymia

The story has a great mix of lighthearted moments and suspenseful scenes. I'm curious how the author approached blending these tones for a young audience.

The rules of magic seemed detailed yet accessible, which made the story more engaging. Did the author develop a complete lore behind the magic or keep it intentionally mysterious?

The world feels rich and immersive, but I wonder whether Angie Sage drew from real-world places or created it entirely from imagination.
